The Highest Tide, Jim Lynch, introduction

 The Highest Tide, Jim Lynch, introduction | File Type: audio/mp3 | Duration: Unknown

Raincoast Books is proud to present a special podcast with Jim Lynch, author of The Highest Tide. The Highest Tide tells the story of thirteen-year-old Miles O’Malley who lives on Puget Sound and knows everything there is to know about the sea and its creatures. When he becomes the first person to sight a live giant squid he is hailed as some sort of prophet. The media descend and everyone wants to hear what Miles has to say. But Miles is just a self-described “increasingly horny, speed-reading thirteen-year-old insomniac” who navigates the mysterious world of adults as the strange events continue over the summer, culminating in the highest tide in 100 years. This is a clip from the forth-coming podcast. Jim's podcast was created in Vancouver during the Vancouver International Writers and Readers Festival.  Find out more about Jim' book at http://www.raincoast.com/highest-tide/index.html.  For more information about Raincoast books please visit www.raincoast.com.

She began speaking to schools and other groups about social responsibility, restorative justice and the transformative power of forgiveness.Katy waited for five years while the police uncovered and convicted Bob’s killers. Ryan Aldridge was charged with Bob’s murder in 2002. Astoundingly, Katy reached out to Ryan, and they have since forged a powerful and unique relationship.

 Raincoast Books - Podcast Edition 4 - Picking up the Pieces by Sherri Magee and Kathy Scalzo | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

www.raincoast.com Picking up the Pieces; Moving Forward after Surviving Cancer  , by Sherri Magee, PhD, and Kathy Scalzo, MSOD. There are over 11 million cancer survivors in North America, and every year doctors diagnose one million new cases.  Most survivors emerge disoriented and scarred.  The side effects are not only physical: emotional and financial instability, changed relationships and spiritual questions leave many feeling overwhelmed.  Survivors speak of feeling fragmented, of needing to 'pick up the pieces' of their lives once the struggle with cancer is over. Practical, reassuring and informative, Picking Up the Pieces is based on years of research and interviews with hundreds of survivors.  The authors guide survivors through a unique process with daily practices that build a bridge from hospital to home and beyond. This podcast, the 4th from Raincoast Books, features authors Sherri Magee and Kathy Scalzo, talking about what inspired them to write this book. The podcast runs 5:03.   It is attached to this feed, or you can also download it here.

You’re back to normal.’ My patients oriented me to the understanding that you never return to the ‘old normal’ after cancer, and that healing is about creating the 'new normal.' Magee and Scalzo provide essential directions for navigating the course between the old and the new normal, and for living well after cancer.” —Simon Sutcliffe, clinical oncologist and President, BC Cancer Agency --Picking Up the Pieces: Moving Forward after Surviving Cancer, Raincoast Books ISBN 1-55192-901-5For more on the book,  please visit raincoast.com/pickingupthepieces .-- This podcast is for personal use only.
